Choices for Youth Inc. (CFY) is a professional service, youth-focused, non-profit, charitable organization that creates spaces and conversations and operates programs and social enterprises to help vulnerable youth secure stable housing, employment, and education while improving health and family stability. With a focus on prevention, intervention, and support, we help youth and their families break cycles of poverty and homelessness and transition to healthy, stable, and independent lives.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Lilly is a 14-unit, congregate living housing model for youth that works. Both the programming and the physical layout of the building promote a sense of community while maintaining individual home spaces in a youth-friendly environment. Participants work with staff through individual support models aiming to remove lifestyle, housing, educational, and employment barriers to finding security and stability. For most of the young people who come to stay at The Lilly, it is the first time they have lived in a safe and stable home environment.
The building consists of 1- and 2-bedroom units, with shared community spaces in the larger kitchens and eating areas, as well as in the living, recreational, music, and art spaces. Residents of The Lilly take part in a variety of community programming – including camping and hiking trips, yoga and meditation, drumming circles, and goal-setting sessions. Alongside this, youth must also be prepared to engage in employment and/or educational training programs.
POSITION SUMMARY
Supporting youth to prepare for independent living and life skills, including employment and education. Working within the team to complete administrative duties, daily residence responsibilities, date entry, housekeeping, programming as well as participation in the broader organization activities. All Choices for Youth Team members support the organization’s mission statement and reflect the values of the mission statement in their work with youth. All Frontline Housing Support Mentors are committed to a supportive approach and constructive communication that respects diversity and dignity.
